House GOP Launches Website That Criticizes Media Coverage

The GOP brain trust. We gotta move on, ' but we've got to do tax reform.

More than 63 percent believed compromise to be the necessary ingredient for Congress to succeed at tax reform, a quality that has proved elusive for Republican lawmakers so far this year. Politicoreports the White House is reaching out to a handful of Senate Democrats, out of the calculation that squeezing 50 votes out of a universe of 52 will be too hard. They point to projected increases in premiums nationwide and fewer insurers offering exchange plans. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), can unite them in September, when they return from their August recess.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee - the Senate GOP's campaign arm - took in $2 million less than expected in promised contributions, CNNfirst reported.

Republicans are eventually going to realize their path to passing a bill is a second Bush tax cuts.

They remain respectful of the much larger number that Trump's anemic 35 percent approval rating amounts to in their home district primaries.
